Answer ALL questions.
Some questions must be answered with a cross in a box . If you
change your mind about an answer, put a line through the box and
then mark your new answer with a cross .
1 This question is about collision theory.
The Maxwell‑Boltzmann distribution of molecular energies for a reaction at a
particular temperature is shown in the graph.
Add another line on the graph to represent the same reaction with the same
number of particles at a higher temperature.

, 2 This question is about alkanes and some of their reactions.
(a) Hexane is a saturated hydrocarbon.
State what is meant by the term ‘saturated hydrocarbon’.
Your answer should refer to both words in the term.

(b) When methane reacts with gaseous chlorine, the initiation step is bond
breaking in the chlorine molecule to form chlorine free radicals.
The equation for this step is shown.
Cl2(g) → 2Cl•(g)
Two equations for the propagation step are shown.
Cl•(g) + CH4(g) → CH3•(g) + HCl(g)
CH3•(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3Cl(g) +
Cl•(g)
(i) Write the overall equation for this reaction of methane with
chlorine. State symbols are not required.
(1)
(ii) Calculate the maximum mass, in grams, of chloromethane produced
when
7.00 g of chlorine gas reacts completely with excess
methane. [Molar mass of CH3Cl = 50.5 g mol–1] (2)
